Abstract
A semiconductor device package structure having a conventional base outline, a heat spreader, and top-mounted, quick-connect terminals for external connection is described. A pre-packaged semiconductor device is attached to a lead frame containing terminals in a predetermined configuration, and then overmolded with a plastic encapsulant so that the heat spreader of the prepackaged device protrudes a predetermined distance from the mounting surface of the package to make possible good thermal contact with a heat sink. Insulated means to facilitate mounting are built-in.
